•
Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter, etc.
could cause corrosion and/or deterioration.
•
Check pole system for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping)
and repaint with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated

To ensure optimal playability of backboard system, a close tolerance
fit between the elevator components and hardware is required. Test-fit
large bolts into large holes of elevator tubes, backboard brackets, and
triangle plates. Carefully rock them in a circular motion to ream out
any excess paint from holes if necessary.
Not all items pictured are included with every model.
